PCIe x1 to Dual USB 3.0 Headers

This expansion card adds two internal USB 3.0 19-pin headers through a single PCIe x1 slot. It is designed for desktop builders who need extra front-panel USB-A ports for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, flash drives, and smartphones. The card fits x1, x2, x4, x8, or x16 slots and includes both high-profile and low-profile brackets.

Sustained 5 Gbps transfer per port

Each of the four resulting USB-A ports delivers up to 5 Gbps data throughput and 5 V 1 A power under continuous load. The VL805 host controller maintains this rate during large file moves without throttling back to burst-only speeds. Driver-free operation on Windows 8, 10, and 11 keeps latency consistent across long sessions.

Replaces missing front-panel headers

The card upgrades motherboards that lack sufficient 19-pin or 20-pin USB 3.0 connectors for modern cases. It is not suitable for systems running Linux or Windows 7 and earlier without manual driver installation, and it cannot be used in legacy PCI slots.

Questions about this item

How much power does the VL805 controller draw when four USB 3.0 devices run all day?

The card supplies 5V1A to each of the four USB-A ports, so the total power budget is 5V4A across all ports while the VL805 controller manages 5Gbps transfers.

Which brackets and motherboard slot must I have free before installing this card?

Both high-profile and low-profile brackets are included, and you need one free PCIe x1 slot (also fits x2, x4, x8 or x16 slots).

Will the card work on my Windows 7 machine alongside newer Windows 10 drives?

Windows 7 (32/64-bit) requires the extra driver supplied by the vendor; Windows 8, 10 and 11 are driver-free, so both systems can use the card once the Windows 7 driver is installed.
